Chiefs defense ranks second in NFL in this key stat, according to PFF

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is on track to be one of the best units in the NFL this season, and has managed to play an exciting brand of football that has put the league on notice in 2023.

Ahead of their Super Bowl LVII rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, the defense ranks second among all teams in scoring drive percentage.

This key metric tracks the percentage of drives in which points are allowed and is a key indicator of the unit’s effectiveness in keeping opposing offenses at bay.

While there remains plenty of work to be done to get Kansas City back to the Super Bowl in February 2024, the defense has proven that their tenacious play can win the Chiefs key games that will factor into their playoff seeding.

Expect all of Kansas City’s star defenders to do their best to secure the Chiefs their eighth win of the season against Philadelphia in Week 11.
